About

Sure, you can buy really great sausage everywhere today, but making your own at home allows you to control the amount of salt and seasoning. This recipe is so easy to throw together in the morning. Sage is typically the herb that is in breakfast sausage, but if you are not a fan of sage, feel free to substitute cilantro or parsley.

Ingredients

2 pounds (910 g) ground pork shoulder or 80/20 ground pork

Method

In a large bowl, combine the pork, ginger, garlic, sage, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. The longer the mixture sits, the better the flavor becomes.
